Michael Johnson

2 players for each position or 17?

Of all the signings so far .... this one doesn't make any sense.

Just google pictures of him! Hes huuuuuuge.

You are aware they will be older photos right?

I think it can get to the point where too many players in one area can be unhealthy, are we there yet? Who knows.

Really talented midfielder, of the Mark Davies ilk, as long as we can keep him fit and injury free then this player will explode the Championship. Arguably one of the best signings we have made this summer if you ask me.

The contrast in football knowledge on this forum is truly amazing!!

But if he doesn't stay off the pies we might need a bigger treatment table.

I still feel we only have four centre midfielders that will be rotated into 3 spots, Abe, King, Wellens and Johnson

and Danns (if we ignore Oakley Moussa)

I forgot Danns, but I don't count Oakley and Moussa

hopefully sven doesnt now

I do think the squad is getting too large now. Obviously if you have a chance to improve the squad with players like Johnson you take it, but at some point the players at the bottom of the pecking order become a distraction.

I have a sneaky feeling Wellens may go...but I'm just speculating.

 

[Kingy_85]

His wiki page reads from one injury to the next.

I’ve no doubt he was a quality player 2 years ago, but since then he has made 3 Prem appearances for Man City.
It just seems odd & risky.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Can he play upfront? :icon_roll

Where on earth is the risk? It's a loan, he's not gonna be on massive wages so it's surely worth a punt. If he gets injured or he's a bit of a duffer, send him back. It's the absolute opposite of risky.

I agree although I'm not sure we need him either, especially if we are after Fernandes as well . If it's only a loan though, the injury record doesn't matter so much and we have options in midfield anyway - Danns, Wellens, King, Oakley, Moussa, Abe.

 

[lanxfox jnr]

Just announced on SSN that he has made a 1 year loan deal

Can you send somebody back who is on a 1-year loan deal? Genuine question - I don't know the answer.

 

[Micky]

I am certain that Moussa and Oakley won't be considered as first team players.
Sven has said he wants two players in every position. We could end up with two midfield line-ups:

Wellens King Danns

or:

Abe Fernandes Johnson

I wouldn't be able to pick the best three out of that lot.

But then again, the young lad from Spurs is also supposed to be on his way in.

I am pretty sure we can send him back if he is injured,but MCFC can not recall him.

 

[MidlandsFox]

If it happens I wouldn't like Kings chances of regular first team football.

Depends on the clauses that are put in the contractual agreement between the two clubs.

I don't see how we could drop a midfielder who scored 15 goals last season and was generally excellent. I can see improving even more this season, especially considering he will have better players around him.
